11/1/14 - A note about retirement - "The
newspapers and social media have written and said a lot about my retirement.
It's true, I did retire but I haven't missed a day of work since. I'm still in
my old office at Scottsdale Community College; still state historian; still
speaking at conventions, museums, schools, churches; still writing; still
performing; and still trying to be a goodwill ambassador for the State of
Arizona."

7/7/14 - “On behalf of all
Arizonans, I want to thank our state’s official historian, Marshall Trimble,
for his years of dedicated teaching service at Scottsdale Community College,
from which he is retiring this year. Marshall Trimble is a true Arizona
original. Born in Mesa and raised along historic Route 66 in Ash Fork,
Marshall’s infectious enthusiasm for Arizona’s history and culture led him
to begin teaching classes on the history of the southwest at Scottsdale’s
Coronado High School in 1969. For the next five decades, Marshall taught, sang
and wrote about our state and its colorful historical characters, keeping alive
our pioneering Old West spirit for generations of Arizonans. In 1997, Governor
Fife Symington bestowed Marshall with the title Official State Historian, an
honor continued by each successive governor. Arizona owes Marshall a deep debt
of gratitude for his many contributions to our state, and we look forward to his
continuing to entertain and educate us for many years to come.” - Senator
John McCain

8/4/12 - Marshall was
awarded the "President's Silver Star Award" from the Wild West History
Association for his "Distinguished and unselfish
service on behalf of the advancement of WWHA and the documentation of western
history." Pictures on photo album page.
